Answer 1

What do you not understand about .pdf files?



Let's start this way... What do you THINK .pdf files are for?

Answer 2

While dynamically generated pdf's is possible with PHP/coldfusion/Ruby on Rails/Apache FOP, etc, it is usually a bit complex to set up. I have used Apache FOP to convert HTML pages to custom formatted PDF's, and it works well. If you are comfortable with PHP, you can use the PDFlib library.



I don't know exactly what solution you are looking for, and explaining everything would be far too complex. I would check out the FOP documentation at Apache.org, and the PDFlib documentation at php.net. If you don't have a real reason for the performance report pdf's, it might be more trouble than it's worth. If possible, I would stick to a pure web based system.



Each page at apache.org uses their own Apache FOP system. On each page, there should be a little pdf icon. Click the pdf icon for an example of what FOP can do.

Answer 3

.pdf files are read with a special program called a pdf reader. One example of this is Adobe acrobat. PDF files are platform independent - Meaning they can be opened on any operating system that has an appropriate reader installed.



If you want to create a website you need to use HTML.



PDF files are what people download to look at on their own computer. To create a PDF file you must get a special program to create PDF files.
